first draft of a classic rock song ala the Byrdshere's the songhttp://www.billgaunce.com/song/95I couldn't really tackle the alas mentioned but it does say "etc." so i'm hoping the Byrds would be an "etc." I know I've got vocals to fix and that the mix pulls to the right (my deaf side!). hear anything else that's a quick fix? I'll have about 2hrs. to work on it tomorrow & that's all. Thanks Oh, Here's the listing 60s/70s-influenced ORIGINAL CLASSIC ROCK SONGS a la "Somebody To Love"by Jefferson Airplane, "People Are Strange" or "Break On Through"by The Doors, "I Can See For Miles" by The Who, "Crossroads"by Cream, etc. are wanted by the Executive Producer and Music Supervisor for an Indie Film set during the Vietnam War. These song references are similar to thetone, tempo and overall approach that they're looking for - but they don'tneed specific "soundalikes" for this one. They merely want original Classic Rock songs that sound authentic to the era and are mid to uptempo. The performances should be very much like listening to the "real deal" - if your song is playing over a radio in the movie, could we mistake it for one of the artists referenced above? They need quite a few great songs that fit squarely into the 60s/70s sound and they'd love to hear some edgy lyrics - sex, drugs, rock -n- roll. That said, they'll be open to any lyric content - just keep in mind that the primary characters are male soldiers in the Vietnam War and the story revolves loosely around the events of that time. Male or female vocals are fine, but male will be preferableunless the female vocal is in the style of Janis Joplin or Signe Anderson (JeffersonAirplane). Broadcast Quality is required, but the recordings/production can be quite simple - they don't need to sound too polished for this one. Capturingthe requested era, vibe, tone and approach will make the biggest difference here.Please submit one to three songs online or per CD. All submissions will be screenedon a YES/NO BASIS - NO CRITIQUES FROM TAXI - and must be received no later than Noon PST on Tuesday, October 14, 2008.
